Most of the C6 documentation is online.  To get the details on LIB,
type LIB and right click on it in PWB, or from the command line, type
QH LIB for QuickHelp.

Ditto for NMAKE -- the details are online in QuickHelp.
Once you get used to it, the online help is a very fast way to get
to the info you want.
